Looking for a Arduino part? Check out the Sun Fouder L293D Motor - a great part manufactured by Sunfounder. The bar code aka the "Universal Product Code" for this is 520141421347. Among the list of key features for this item is the 4 h-bridges: per bridge provides 0. 6a (1. 2a peak current) with thermal protection, can run motors on 4. 5v to 25v dc. Selecting a Sun Fouder L293D Motor .

Sun Founder L293D is actually a monolithic integrated, high voltage, high current, 4-channel driver. The H-Bridge is typically an electrical circuit that enables a voltage to be applied across a load in either direction to an output, e. g. motor. Basically this means utilizing this chip you can use DC motors and power supplies of up to 25 Volts, thats some pretty big motors and the chip can supply a maximum current of 600m A per channel, the L293D chip is also what's known as a sort of H-Bridge.
